"... Electric dreams and more painful realities collide."

More Cut Copy More Cut Copy

Melbourne's electro popsters return with their first album in four years.

Consolidating on what they do best, this album centres more on '80s electro pop and disco but with their roots deep in '90s dance music, Cut Copy always tend toward spinning blissed-out summer of love euphoric vibes. It's here where electric dreams and more painful realities collide. The light and breezy vibe walks the line between unfettered joy and sadness in equal proportions. Dan Whitford's rather flat and plaintive vocals maintain a dreamy but melancholy presence dealing lyrics of bittersweet heartbreak and the optimistic possibilities of new beginnings.
